Agreed. Grammys have become more for artists who have to wear costumes to be considered a performer. Grateful for Americana Awards instead. They value actual music.
Just read the list of Grammy nominees. I have heard of less than half a dozen of these artists. So glad I grew up in an era where music was better!

ICYMI: Lu Dort (Shoulder Contusion) was ruled out for the rest of this game, something to monitor as OKC plays a back to back in Portland tomorrow. (Today?)

What is this thing "loss" you're talking about? I don't understand this concept.
Imagine your favorite NBA team already having a loss this season 😏

For the last several months, I've been digging through endless scientific literature on what happens when pregnant mothers are exposed to plastic chemicals in their food, water, and everyday household products.
The result is this story.
I hope you'll take the time to read.

The health risks from plastics almost nobody knows about
Researchers have linked phthalates, chemicals found in plastics, to premature birth, infertility and ADHD.

The guy that ordered 8 fighter jets to perform a low altitude fly-over in an effort to drown out Epstein survivors is the same guy who wants you to believe he's innocent.

I used to watch Wild Kingdom, too! Probably had a lot to do with my wanting to study animals. (That, or identifying too much with Elly May in The Beverly Hillbillies - since I tend to refer to my chimps and baboons as "critters.")
Just realized you have one of the coolest jobs among those who interact with me on social media. Small tidbit: I loved the movie "Born Free" when I was a kid and spent Sunday nights watching Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom (followed by Disney).

Good for you, Steve. I am just recovering from my first case - contracted while travelling home from Madagascar. It sucks.
Today at walmart, I was criticized because I was wearing a mask. I started wearing masks again as COVID numbers. We're rising. I only wear it in places where I don't know who is in the area and there is a high risk of running into anti-vaxers and stupid people. Places like Walmart.

The horror of these killer tornados and flash floods killing Americans should redouble our efforts to slow climate change and increase the National Weather Service enhanced warning systems. Instead this Administration is heading us in the opposite direction.

Remember: Those same people buy into the Noah's ark story, which - beyond the cute 2-by-2 animal nonsense - is built on the idea that their god murdered all others on the planet with his "flood." That makes their god the biggest mass murderer of all time. I don't think killing humans is an issue.
If you worship a god who says it's good or necessary to kill other humans for land, for being trans, for not following the rules that god proscribes, you're not a worshipper, you're a hostage, and what you feel isn't devotion, it's fear, because that god is a terrorist, not a deity.
